SIPHON.

Application filed July 18, 1924.

' '1 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, TANEZO OKIHARA,'I subject of the Emperor of rIapan. and a resident of Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii,

I have in'i'ented a new and Improved Siphon, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a siphon device and has for an object the provision of sini- 10 ple and etlicient means whereby liquid can be siphoned from a container to any de sired point without the usual necessity of applying the mouth to the siphon tube for the purpose of sucking the liquid into the tube to start the siphonic action.

This invention is shown in the drawing, which is a side elevation partly in section of the device as applied to a container holding liquids.

In its general aspects the invention coinprises a bulb connected by a tube to any desired point. In this bulb there projects another tube connected to the container holding liquid, from which it is desired to siphon the liquid. This second tube projects into the first tube to a slight extent so that when the bulb is contracted to force the air out of it the air will pass by the end of the second tube and cause an ejector action in the nature of a suction on the end of the second tube, which will cause the liquid to be drawn thereinto to start the siphonic action.

Serial No. 726,820.

The preferred form of the invention, shown in the drawing, includes a bulb 1 connected to a tubular member 2 leadingto any suitable point of discharge. Into this bulb there extends a second tube 3, the end 4 of which is adapted to extend into the tube 2 and lie concentric therewith. The other end 5 of the tube 3 is adapted to extend into a body of liquid (3 disposed in any suitable container 7. It is the pur pose of the device to drain the liquid 6 from the container 7. In order to do this the bulb 1 may be contracted, forcing the air therein into the tube 2, past the end l ot the tube 3, thus causing a suction in this tube which will start the liquid into it.

This device is exceedingly simple and the parts are compactly arranged so that the operation requires little effort or knowledge on the part of the user.

lVhat I claim is A siphon device, which comprises a rub 5 her bulb. a discharge tube of rubber connected thereto. an admission tube extending into the bulb and formed intcgrz'd therewith, one end of the admission tubc projecting into the discl'large tube, the other end of the admission tube adapted to be connected to a body of liquid to be siphoned whereby contraction of the bulb will force the air therein past the end of the second tube to cause a suction action thereon.

TANEZO OKIHARA.
